THE appointment of Mr. Basil Omiyi as Managing Director of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) marks a remarkable turning point in the 67-year old life of the company in Nigeria. The appointment takes effect from September 1, 2004.
The Anglo-Dutch oil firm is reportedly undergoing a far-reaching global reorganisation to strengthen the values of honesty, integrity and respect for people. By Omiyi’s appointment, Shell has finally yielded to a long-standing request from the Nigerian people and the Niger-Delta area in particular, for “increased Nigerian (human) content in the upstream oil sector.”
